  • a vehicle anti-roll system is a system designed to resist vehicle body roll motions or leans, for example, in a turn when a vehicle is steering or cornering. In a turn, lateral
  • Anti-roll systems provide two main functions.
  • the first function is the reduction of body roll or lean.
  • the reduction of body roll or lean is dependent on the total roll stiffness of the vehicle. Increasing the total roll stiffness of a vehicle does not change the weight transfer from the inside wheels to the outside wheels, it only reduces body lean.
  • Another function of anti-roll systems is to tune the handling balance of a vehicle. The degree of understeer or oversteer can be tuned by changing the proportion of the total roll stiffness that comes from the front and rear axles. Increasing the proportion of roll stiffness at the front will increase the proportion of the total load transfer that the front axle reacts and decrease the proportion that the rear axle reacts.
  • anti-roll bar also known as a sway bar, a stabilizer bar, an anti-sway bar, a roll bar, or abbreviated as ARB.
  • An anti-roll bar is a form of a torsion spring that stiffens or resists the roll of the vehicle.
  • Anti-roll bars are usually constructed out of a U- shaped piece of metal, typically steel, that connects to the left and right sides of the suspension/wheels and at two mounting points in between. If the left and right wheels move together, the bar rotates about its mounting points and does not bend or twist and imparts no or negligible force to the
  • the bar If the wheels move relative to each other, the bar is subjected to torsion and forced to twist.
  • the bar resists the torsion through its strength or stiffness. The stiffer or stronger the bar, the more force required to move the left and right wheels relative to each other, which as a result, increases the amount of force required to make the vehicle roll.
  • a mechanical anti-roll bar is usually constructed out of a U-shaped piece of steel that connects to the left and right sides of the suspension and at two points in between. This may be difficult for vehicles that have abnormally shaped or sized chassis or hulls. Forcing a steel shape to conform to irregular hull or chassis shapes reduces that steel shape's stiffness, and the anti-roll bar becomes excessively heavy for its relative stiffness. With component weights having a direct effect on vehicle performance, including fuel economy, this is
  • V-hulls Some specialized vehicles have V- hulls. These V-hulls would require the shape of the anti-roll bar to be modified to go under or above the V-Hull, or for the V-hull to be outfitted with holes for allowing the anti-roll bar to pas through the V-hull. Either way, this process of
  • outfitting and installing a mechanical anti-roll bar on an abnormally shaped vehicle or chassis may be very difficult and expensive, or lead to additional design compromises.
  • a further problem with mechanical anti-roll bar systems is that once they are installed it is difficult to bypass or turnoff the anti-roll feature of the bar without having to completely remove or mechanically disengage the U-shaped bar from the suspension/wheels of the vehicle.
  • Some vehicles for example, an off-road vehicle, may desire that an anti-roll system be engaged when traveling at high speeds on road, and may also desire the anti-roll system to be disengaged when traveling off-road.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système antiroulis hydraulique pour un véhicule, qui comprend un premier actionneur hydraulique, un second actionneur hydraulique, un module de commande antiroulis et une soupape de by-pass antiroulis. Le premier actionneur hydraulique est apte à être monté entre la suspension et le châssis du véhicule sur un côté et le second actionneur hydraulique est apte à être monté entre la suspension et le châssis du véhicule sur l'autre côté. Le module de commande antiroulis est raccordé entre les conduites de fluide des premier et second actionneurs hydrauliques. Le module de commande antiroulis raidit la compression du premier actionneur hydraulique relativement à l'expansion du second actionneur hydraulique et raidit la compression du second actionneur hydraulique relativement à l'expansion du premier actionneur hydraulique. La soupape de by-pass antiroulis est apte à activer et à désactiver le raidissement du module de commande antiroulis.
